Air Force Academy is Considering Dropping God's Name from it's Oath.. "Vision to America", Oct 24, 2013

Air Force Academy Is Considering Dropping God’s Name From Its Oath


Among the many virtues that flow from recognizing God’s existence is humility. Without God, every man begins to think of himself as his own little deity, leaving him free to set his own rules and, if his rules call for it, to hold the power of life and death over others. For that reason, Americans are singularly fortunate that the vast majority of troops in our military hew to traditional Judeo-Christian religious principles that see them subordinating themselves to a Higher Power’s dictates about morality, justice, and grace.
If the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (“MRFF”) has its way, though, the Air Force Academy is going to kick God out of its precincts. The MRFF, founded and controlled by the fanatically anti-Christian Mikey Weinstein, is up in arms about the fact that the Air Force Academy’s current oath invokes God: “We will not lie, steal or cheat nor tolerate among us anyone who does. Furthermore, I resolve to do my duty and live honorably, so help me God.”

BS Ranch Perspective:

Seems that this is something that they haven't quite decided on just yet, or it would not read considering, however if they have considered it, then they might be putting it in the works to go that route.

Now if you are giving an oath, that means you are promising something to someone, that someone was God! Now who would they be giving there Promise to, the President of the United States??  If that is the case he is No God, Never will be... The fact is that this country was founded on God's Word, the form of our government was taken from the Bible, the Constitution was written and derived from Scripture, again God's Word, so it only made sense that in the last 237 years we gave an oath to God, the one True God, that gave us our way of life, our Freedom, which was given not in the 5th amendment, but the first amendment!!

Now they are going to consider taking God out of the Oath, then to me that oath that they are given from that point on, is an Oath that super weak!! The Oath To God is given because of the consequences that are passed on to one's Soul, and not to his soul in this lifetime, but the lifetime that he gets after this life.. IF that oath is broken it is between his soul and our Father God!!

This to me is a sign that should not be taken lightly, because it is truly that sign that the end of time's is near... better get your life in order and prepare to travel to the Heaven's when those Horsemen come calling!!

Rescue Coordination Center Team Assists in Mission That Saved 60 Hikers (AF North Public Affairs) by Angela Pope

8/9/2011 - TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. (AFNS) -- Severe weather on July 29 flooded a hiking path on Mount Whitney near Lone Pine, Calif., leaving 60 hikers stranded.

Officials with the California Emergency Management Agency reached out to the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center here for assistance.

"Although there was a large number of individuals in danger, this mission was just like any other for us," said the AFRCC's Capt. Roy Porter. "We followed the same checklists and procedures we always do for crises like this."

One of the requirements CEMA specialists needed for supporting assets was a helicopter that could reach altitudes of at least 10,000 feet. AFRCC controllers researched units in the area and found one that had such a helicopter: the Navy's Air Test Evaluation Squadron Three One at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, just 90 miles from Mount Whitney.

An SH-60 helicopter and its aircrew from VX-31 joined in the rescue efforts along with the Inyo County Search and Rescue Team, the Inyo County Sheriff's Department and the U.S. Forest Service, which also provided a helicopter to aid in the rescue. The helicopters dropped rescue personnel off on the mountain and returned to Lone Pine Airport to await further requests for assistance.

Despite the treacherous conditions, all the hikers and rescue personnel were able to hike down and off the mountain safely when the weather cleared a few hours later. There were no serious injuries, and only one person had to be treated for hypothermia.

"Under such adverse conditions, and with the large amount of water coming down the trail, we are very fortunate that there was only one hypothermic victim, and that there were no more injuries or fatalities," said Inyo County Sheriff Bill Lutze.
